The Richest Vegetable in all the Land

So Robyn and I, as part of our budget, we each get some money each month that we call our "fun money." This is money that we get to do whatever we want with, and we don't even have to consult each other to spend it. My fun money is usally squandered in riotous living by the end of the month. I buy things like books, DVDs and computer games. Robyn, however, had a desire to save her money for several months to buy one big ticket item. Now, if I were to do that, it would be a sweet Blu-Ray player, or an awesome DVR but she had very different desires. (It turns out boys are different from girls.) She wanted a toothbrush. Now, this wasn't just any toothbrush that you can buy at the grocery store. This was the super guracious Sonicare toothbrush

The Sonicare toothbrush actually comes in a 2-pack. So, that meant that I got one too. We've had them for a week now and I'm a little more used to it now, but the first time I tried it, I had never experienced an electronic toothbrush before so it was a new and somewhat disconcerting experience. All that vibrating inside my head made me think that it was going to jiggle my brain right out of my head. I happen to like my brain, my job pays me for the right to rent the use of my brain for 40 hours a week. Not only that, but my brain helps me out with important activities I need to perform such as walking, speaking, breathing and various other tasks that I would have trouble performing without a brain.

After reviewing how much I really do appreciate my brain, I brought my concern to Robyn. "What if all this vibrating in my brain causes brain damage?" "What if I can no longer think?" "What if I become a complete vegetable?" Robyn assured me that if I were to become a vegetable, she would raise a serious lawsuit and get millions and millions of dollars from the Sonicare corporation.

'Hmmmm..." I thought to myself, "I may be a vegetable, but I'll be a wealthy vegetable. I could be the richest and most powerful vegetable in all the land!" Take that Mushroom Kingdom! You got nothin on me!

Hahahaha. I'm glad you decided to blog about this. But did you think about how if you become a vegetable, Robyn will probably also become a vegetable, and then you'll need someone else to sue for you? Give me some of those millions and I'd be happy to do it for you.

I can assure you that your Sonicare toothbrush will not cause you to become a vegetable. I have had one for years and it has done nothing but work miracles. I will say that when I first started using it I didn't know how to handle all the vibrating. I would drool like crazy and it was just a mess. You will learn to appreciate its beauty one you get accustomed to it. Not only that, but since I have used my Sonicare I have had better results at the dentist.

And, you should be extra grateful for Robyn. Not only did she buy a practical item with her fun money, but she bought something that you could benefit from too. Robyn wins the prize.

That was the most clever story I've read in quite a while (I just got done reading the Twilight series so you really didn't have a whole lot of competition) But thanks for making me laught:) Love Cousin Jamie
